It was a big weekend in the village of Round Lake as residents celebrated the Night of Illumination and hosted the annual Antiques Festival.

The evening events kicked off with a potluck dinner, followed by a community sing-along in the auditorium. Music was provided by William Hubert on the organ, Don Hommel on guitar and vocals, Kyle Hommel on guitar and vocals, and Melissa Garner Brayton on vocals.

One of the highlights was when dozens of children took to the stage to wave flags during a rendition of George M. Cohan's "You're a Grand Old Flag."

Following the songfest, Diane Marchand was honored for her community work, and she turned on the large, ceremonial lantern on the stage. As dozens of other lanterns were lit inside the auditorium, a firetruck sounded its siren and circled the auditorium. Everyone then returned home to light lanterns on their porches, and residents strolled throughout the village to enjoy the display.

The Antiques Festival, featuring more than 100 dealers, continues through the day Sunday..
